Time Out says

Located right next door to Camden Town tube station, the Ballroom is still dining out on its (admittedly impressive) history, hosting as it has gigs by the likes of The Smiths, U2, The Clash, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Hüsker Dü. The immediate threat of closure to allow the rebuilding of the underground station has been lifted due to that proposal's initial rejection (although wrangling is ongoing) and this, coupled with a welcome major refit of the interior has revitalised the venue. Gigs run the stylistic gamut, while regular club nights on Friday and Saturday roll on until the small hours and the vast space is taken over by an indoor market/café at weekends.

I Am Kloot

Foxygen

Fond of fur coats and steeped in the rock ’n’ roll mythology of their native Los Angeles, young retro duo Foxygen bring their louche psychedelic stylings to London. This is officially due to be their last show here, as it’s part of an extensive ‘farewell...

American Football

Knotty time signatures and blissful guitar lines from the cult indie heroes from Illinois, who released just one album in 1999, but got back together in early 2014. These are their first ever shows in London.

Best Coast

Surf-popping Los Angelenos Bethany Cosentino and Bobb Bruno deliver a set full of groovy, pre-loved licks and lo-fi, sweetly melodic fuzz at their first UK gig in a few years. It’s all in aid of their new album ‘California Nights’, which builds on the...
